FX.co ★ Czech Producer Prices Drop More than Expected

In March 2025, the Czech Republic experienced a 0.3% year-on-year decline in producer prices, surpassing market expectations and accelerating from the 0.1% fall recorded in February. This marks the second consecutive month of a downturn in producer prices, largely driven by reduced costs in the mining and quarrying sector (-4% compared to -2.8% in February) and manufacturing (-0.4% compared to 0.4%). Meanwhile, prices for electricity, gas, steam, and air-conditioning supply remained stable following a 1.6% decline in the previous month. Additionally, prices for water supply, sewerage, waste management, and remediation services held steady at 4.1%. On a monthly basis, producer prices decreased by 0.3% in March, after a 0.1% decline in February.
